What is a statement correctly explains the polarity of the water molecule?
One oxygen and two hydrogen atoms are joined by a covalent bond.
What is true about a molecule which contains two polar bonds which have the different degrees of polarity will it always be polar or never be polar or only be polar if it is bent?
Polar if it is bent.
What condition must be met if a molecule having polar bonds is to be non polar?
Yes a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it.if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar
What chemical bond results from sharing electrons between two elements with very similar electronegativity?
covalent bonds.
Which two planets are most similar in temperature?
Jupiter and Neptune are the most similar in temperature.
How does a drawing of polarity water and the bond polarities make a major contribution to the overall molecular polarity look?
The polarity is a vector quantity. The resultant of the polarity of bonds determines the polarity of the molecule. In CO2 there is polarity between the two C-O but the polarity is equal and opposite in direction so CO2 doesn't have polarity. If the polarity of bonds is not cancelled then the polarity remains in the molecule.
What are characteristics of nonpolar bonds?
In most instances, non polar molecular compounds have relatively lower melting points and boiling points.
Why water form 4 H-bonds?
Because of the presence of two lone pairs on Oxygen and due to polarity of the two Hydrogens, H20 can form 4 Hydrogen bonds. Bollaram Dileep Kumar
What are two examples of polarity?
-- negative polarity -- positive polarity
In a single molecule of water the two hydrogen atoms are bonded to a single oxygen atom by?
covalent bonding
How is a covalent bond similar from an ionic bond?
They are not similar bonds. In fact, they are nearly opposite. Covalent bonds can occur between any two atoms and the bond is sharing electrons. Ionic bonds occur between any two different atoms and the bond is electromagnetic.
What is a statement correctly explains the polarity of the water molecule?
One oxygen and two hydrogen atoms are joined by a covalent bond.
Which molecule contains non-polar covalent bond?
Any molecule where the two atoms bonded together have the same electronegativity - e.g. an element such as O2. Some molecules can have polar bonds but be non-polar overall if the polarity of the bonds 'cancel out', e.g. CO2, CCl4, NH4+ This happens if the bonds are pointing in opposing directions - draw out a diagram of CO2 which has two polar double bonds to see this. Remember to consider the shape of the molecules (including lone electron pairs) when looking at the polarity of the whole molecule.
What is true about a molecule which contains two polar bonds which have the different degrees of polarity will it always be polar or never be polar or only be polar if it is bent?
Polar if it is bent.
How can a molecule nonpolar overall and still contain polar bonds?
Yes, a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it. if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar.
Polarity of CH2Cl2?
the polarity of Cl2 is nonpolar because it is two of the same elements are bonded together, the two sides of the molecule are evenly distributed
What is magnetic polarity?
A magnet has a polarity, in that one end is the "north" and the other is the "south". Opposite poles attract but similar poles repell each other. You cannot make the north poles of two magnets stick together.
